If the notification relates to a portion of the filing checked above, identify the Item(s) to which the notification relates:

N/A

PART I — REGISTRANT INFORMATION

Versant Corporation

Full Name of Registrant

 

Versant Object Technology Corporation

Former Name if Applicable

 

6539 Dumbarton Circle

Address of Principal Executive Office (Street and Number)

 

Fremont, California 94555

PART II — RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

 

  (a)

The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense

ý

  (b)

The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

 

  (c)

The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

Versant Corporation (the “Registrant”) requires additional time to finalize the review and processing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended October 31, 2004.  The Registrant is unable to complete and file its annual report on Form 10-K within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense.  This circumstance results primarily from the substantial volume of non-ordinary course matters to be covered in the Registrant’s annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2004 compared with prior years’ annual reports, due in part to numerous corporate transactions during fiscal year 2004.  The Registrant currently expects that its Form 10-K will be filed by no later than the fifteenth calendar day following the date on which it was due.

Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).

ý Yes

o No

 

 

 

(3)

Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

ý Yes

o No

 

 

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

 

 

The Registrant’s results of operations to be reflected by the financial statements in the Registrant’s Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 will be consistent with the Registrant’s current report on Form 8-K dated December 15, 2004, including Exhibit 99.01 furnished therewith.  As stated in that Exhibit 99.01, Registrant’s revenues for the year ended October 31, 2004 were up 4% over the year ended October 31, 2003.  Registrant’s operating expense for fiscal 2004 increased by $5.5 million from fiscal 2003, and Registrant’s net loss per share from continuing operations for fiscal 2004 was ($0.32) per share compared to a net loss of ($0.17) per share in fiscal 2003.
